To Dream A Dream

Dear Friends,

Dreams, they are what give us a purpose, a
goal to achieve, to what we would like to be.
Like being a great baseball player, chewing
a mouthful of gum, smelling the hot dog
aroma from the vendors walking in the
isles, hearing the crowd roar as you hit
another home run. Or perhaps like Martin
Luther King, dreaming of a day when all
people can be free from oppression.

Whatever the dream, taking the first step is
often the hardest. Amazingly often when
we decide to take on our endeavor(s) we
often come across the most extreme
opposition, sadly, even by people we
love and respect.

When a you choose the dream to
pursue, it seems as if the gates of hell
has been opened and everything is
against you. You may find that even
loved ones don't believe in your aspiration
or your ability to achieve it. In life you
will meet many with a Can't Do attitude,
but it is the person with a CAN DO !
attitude that prevails.

For example, Martin Luther King had
the dream of breaking the color barrier.
But in reaching for his goal, he was fraught
with endless tests of will, patience, and health.
But he marched on despite the heavy opposition
and led a march with people of all races coming
together. You too may come against similar
barriers but... Keep your hope Alive because...

Without a dream the people parish, YOU will start
to parish. Hold on to your dream and though you
will meet resistance...... PRESS ON,
go ever forward never looking back,
If YOU don't live your dream...
WHO WILL.

Keep Joy And Love Alive

Peace be with you. 

We're Not Alone !

Dear Friends,


YOUR NOT ALONE, If your like me, sometimes in our
march to understand ourselves and our relationship to
others, we forget.... We forget that we are not alone....
sometimes late at night I go out into the back yard
and stand right in the middle and look deep into the
starlit sky, feeling the soft cool brush of the midnight
air I almost start releasing the day's tension.

Then like a bad cold I am once again infected with daily
worry,and a feeling of being alone in my struggle for life,
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Then my muscles start
to lock up and my face starts to grimace, I start asking
questions like, “Is all that I do in VAIN”, or “I'm tired
maybe I should give up”.

FIGHT IT!, because THIS is wrong, never give in to
hopelessness. NEVER, EVER, think that you are the only
soul on Earth to feel this way, because you are
certainly not!. Understand that in the dark moments of
our struggles, millions of human beings across the world,
feel close to, if not exactly,the way you feel.
And if this isn't enough to release the upset stomach
and binding muscles in your back,what I will share next will.

Listen carefully, There IS a GOD and he does love you.
Our lives are directly before him. Every breath, Every
thought, Every feeling we have ever had, or will have,
is before him. In our deepest struggles he is with us,
in every pain, in every moment we feel we don't have
the strength to go on.

FIGHT ON, because victory will come soon, HOLD ON,
help is coming, STAY ON, the course, because
you are NOT alone.

WE ARE IN THIS TOGETHER.

KEEP JOY AND LOVE ALIVE

Rev. E
